Cold
weather? What cold weather? Did someone mention cold weather? It's
68˚ and humid outside and I'm barefoot. I don't get it. 68˚ is
what we keep the heater thermostat on when it's cold outside and when
the heat is on and I've got on twice as many clothes, I'm still cold.
Now, it's 68˚ outside and I'm barefoot.
I
have another job consisting of two good size windows that I'm working
on sketches for now. These will be shipped to Maryland when we're
done. They really like this piece we did for Oak Bend Hospital using
native flora and fauna so I'm working with images for the Chesapeake
Bay area. Most of the plants and wildlife is familiar.
I've
been trying to be very good this week and curtail my internet time,
well, my internet time wasting as I do a lot of image research
on the web, and get these sketches done so I can move on to all the
full size art work I need to do next week.
Since
it's Friday, here's a selfie of me pretending to work:
I'm
already having second thoughts about this selfie on Friday thing as
I'm having to take over a dozen shots before I get one that I'm not
too horrified at.
Tomorrow
is one of my days at the antique store and I'm going to organize all
my bird drawings into a binder instead of the folder where they
currently reside while I'm there. It's supposed to rain so I don;t
expect too many people will come in.
I'm glad you waste your time on the internet. Otherwise, how would I know that you're barefoot and it's 68 F?
ReplyDeleteI can see your Friday selfies will be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeletethose panels are beautiful!
ReplyDeletewe hit 65 today but with the dampness in the air, i can never get warm.
It is weird how quickly and dramatically the temperature changed. Whiplash!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should make a rule that you publish the first selfie you take. (That could be a dangerous rule, but it would keep you from having to shoot a thousand of them. :) )
The idea of a weekly selfie is a very brave one. I did one the other day and I barely recognised myself.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the weather, enjoy your work with its limitless creativity. The panel is simply beautiful.
The etchings are nice,i would enjoy being up on the bay area
ReplyDeleteI agree with Friko. Weekly selfies is very brave.
ReplyDeleteI like your selfies and I love your panels. But I have to say that you're a real weather showoff! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou remind me of my aunt in this selfie--when she was young. What gave you the idea to do Friday selfies anyway? I like it.
ReplyDeleteThe panels are beautiful. As always.
This weather is confusing my arthritic bones. But I will take it. You know the cold and I don't get along all that well.
ReplyDeleteYou look great pretending to work; very industrious and beautiful.
I noticed you are reading The Book Thief. I'm extremely jealous you get to read it for the first time. What a great book. I cried many tears reading it... and smiled... and shook my fist in the air.
Did I mention that I really loved the selfie?
Those are beautiful! Now I want to see a picture of you pretending to work on a Wednesday too. See what you've started?
ReplyDeleteI love those panels! I'm a Chesapeake Bay native and they capture something lovely and true.
ReplyDelete68 degrees would be picnic weather for me right now, I'm growing weary of winter here. The Chesapeake spoiled me, it's a very temperate place.
Those selfies are a brave idea, I am always shocked at how different my brain and my camera see me. You look like an artist hard at work, and thanks for sharing the selfies and your work with us.
I just took 10 pictures of myself & didn't like any of them so I know what you're talking about! (I did finally pick one - I had made a hat for a cousin & was modeling how it looked on the head.)
ReplyDeleteI know I'm reading this 8 days later, but we've gotten more snow. Ugh. It's pretty and all, but such a hassle. At least I don't have arthritis in my hip anymore so I don't feel extra achy in the cold.
P.S. But I LIKE the Friday selfie, so you have to keep doing it :)
